May 21, 2025


Fuel Your Next Escape with Great Coffee

There’s something magical about sipping a fresh cup of coffee surrounded by the rustle of trees, the crackle of a campfire, and the promise of a day spent outdoors. Whether you’re backpacking through mountain trails, road-tripping to the coast, or pitching a tent in your backyard, the right cup of coffee can elevate any adventure.

Forget instant coffee that tastes like regret. We’re here to introduce portable, easy-to-use, and delicious coffee options that bring café-quality brews to your sleeping bag or trail stop. Let’s break down the best gear, beans, and brews to pack for your next outdoor escape — just in time for Memorial Day Weekend.

Pack Light, Brew Big: The Coffee Essentials

When you're headed outdoors, your gear needs to be compact, lightweight, and hassle-free. That’s where single-serve solutions shine. Two standouts in our lineup — the Lardera French Press Singles and Pour-Over Singles — offer premium, portable brewing options with zero mess and all the flavor.

Lardera French Press Singles

Rich, full-bodied coffee in a no-fuss format.

These single-serve French press bags are your rugged companion for chilly mornings around the fire. No bulky equipment, no compromise on taste.

How to use:
STEP 1: Open the envelope and place the coffee single inside your mug.

STEP 2: Heat water to 205°F and pour about 12 oz into the mug.

STEP 3: Steep for 5 minutes (or longer if you like it bold).

STEP 4: Remove the bag and enjoy!

Available in singles or six-packs, these are perfect for campers who want full immersion flavor without packing a press.


Pour-Over Singles

A light, clean brew without a coffee maker in sight.

Our pour-over singles make it easy to enjoy hand-poured perfection in the middle of nowhere. The clever cardboard arms fold out and hook to your mug — creating your very own on-the-go brew station.

How to use:
STEP 1: Shake the packet to settle grounds and tear open the top.

STEP 2: Push the tab and pull out the cardboard arms to secure it to your mug.

STEP 3: Slowly pour 12 oz of hot water through the grounds, letting it filter.

STEP 4: Remove the filter and sip your fresh brew.

Choose singles or a convenient six-pack to fuel your journey from sunrise to sunset.

Choose Your Roast: Beans for the Trail

Each roast is available in both French Press Singles and Pour-Over Singles, so you can match your brew method with your mood.
